P.S.I have given up growing peas outside,as the mice always take 90%!
We are fighting back this year after no peas or sweetcorn, got some
professional type rodent bait that is so powerful one meal and they are
dead.

What is it ?
And where can it be purchased ?


It's a paste that smells of peanut butter made in sachets made by Raco and I
got it from another allotment holder that uses it at work. Presumably it's
available on the net if you google.
Care, there is an indoor only one and one for both indoors and outdoors.
Treat it with the respect it deserves, it's a strong poison, read the
product information etc. and act accordingly.
Always use a proper mouse bait box and ensure they can't drag the sachets
outside the box, I bought the specific box to go with the poison that has a
metal bar that passes through the sachets to hold them in place.
It isn't cheap!


Thank you so much.
For the info and the good advice.
But - they gotta GO.
